1Ngikhala kuNkulunkulu ngezwi eliphakemeyo, ngiyamemeza ukuze angizwe uNkulunkulu.
2Ngosuku losizi lwami, ngifuna iNkosi, ebusuku ngelule isandla sami ngingakhathali. Umphefumulo wami uyenqaba ukududuzwa.
3Ngikhumbula uNkulunkulu, ngibubule; ngiyazindla, umoya wami udangele.
4Uzibambile izinkophe zami, amehlo ami awavaleki. Ngikhathazekile, akusakhulumeki.
5Ngininga ngezinsuku zasemandulo, ngikhumbula iminyaka yakudala.
6Ebusuku ngiyakhumbula ukubetha kwami ugubhu, ngizindla enhliziyweni yami, nomoya wami uyahlolisisa.
7“Ngabe iNkosi iyokuyekelela kuze kube phakade na? Ayiyukuphinda yini ikwenzele umusa?
8Ngabe ububele bayo sebuphele ingunaphakade na? Ngabe isithembiso seminyaka sesiphelile yini ezizukulwaneni ngezizukulwane na?
9Ngabe uNkulunkulu usekulibele yini ukuba nozwelo? Ngabe ulaka lwakhe selugabhe uzwelo analo na?”
10Ngase ngithi: “Kungukuhlupheka kimi ukuthi isandla soPhezukonke sesiguqukile.”
11Ngiyakuzikhumbula izenzo zikaSimakade, yebo, ngizikhumbule izimangaliso zasendulo,
12ngicabange ngawo wonke umsebenzi wakho, ngizindle ngezenzo zakho.
13Indlela yakho, Nkulunkulu, ingcwele. Yimuphi unkulunkulu omkhulu njengoNkulunkulu wethu na?
14Wena unguNkulunkulu owenza izimangaliso, amandla akho uwazisile ezizweni.
15Ngengalo yamandla wabasindisa abantu bakho, amadodana kaJakobe noJosefa.
16Amanzi akubona, Nkulunkulu, amanzi akubona, athuthumela, nezintwa zazamazama.

18Izwi lokuduma kwakho lisesiphephweni, imibani yakhanyisa izwe, umhlaba wandindizela, wazamazama.
19Indlela yakho yayisolwandle, imendo yakho isemanzini amaningi, kodwa amanyathelo akho awabonakalanga.
20Abantu bakho wabahola njengezimvu ngesandla sikaMose no-Aroni.
